Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.
WWG1WGA!!!Q
In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

I don’t know if the modular “small” nukes are quite ready, but they’re coming along nicely. They would be a great asset for something like a data center that has constant demand 24/7.
TVA, and other utilities, is working on smaller modular reactor designs and is planning to be a pioneer in the area (which will hike everyone’s electric bills up wildly because the initial cost of the first one will be sky high). Other utilities in other areas are working on similar or different designs. Holtec Industries, I believe, is working its own design.

HEADLINES: “Liberal Patriot” closes up shop; SAFE Act kaput for now; To close or not to close the Strait of Hormuz
The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) I keep harping on the rather obvious fact that the DemoKKKrats are moving so far left as to become a threat to the country. Here is a great example. For a couple of years I’ve followed a group I call “common sense DemoKKKrats” (for want of a better term at The Liberal Patriot, guys like Ruy Teixeira and Nate Moore. Their great, great strength is that they can actually see the divide the Ds face with their positions. Their great, great weakness is that they still have TDS. At any rate, here is the news. They are closing up shop. No one is listening to them.
https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/no-learning-please-were-democrats
Meanwhile Trump rolls along, having attained 19/20 of his Agenda 47 promises in just over one year.
https://x.com/JakeCan72/status/2037734033837424775
2) As I predicted, the SAFE Act still hasn’t passed. Meanwhile the Senate passed a bill funding ICE-—but not all of the civilian support. This actually was a victory of sorts. I traveled from PHX to St. Louis on Thursday and literally walked to the TSA check in station with NO ONE in front of me, then on Sunday came back and only two people were in front of me. Total time at both airport TSA check ins? Less than 15 minutes. Now, I don’t know if this is a factor, but ICE checking out peeps in the security lines may have played a role. And President Trump signed an executive order allowing TSA agents to get paid immediately. However, without the civilian support staff, some argue ICE operations would stall out. I’m not sure that’s the case, as some-—but certainly not all-—support jobs at ICE can be filled with temporary help or by temporarily reassigning people doing similar things in other parts of government. That is not a permanent solution, and the House ridiculed the Senate bill. Understand this: the DemoKKKrats in the Senate, plus the Republicanoids (that is, reptilian RINOs) such as Yertle and MurCowSki and a couple of others want to inflict as much pain and inconvenience on the public as possible out of hatred for Trump. Seth Keshel, in his “Capt’n K’s Corner” says that if the election were today, Ds would get between 220 and 230 House seats, or barely win control But that’s today. Either the economy, or the Supreme Court, or other changes can shift that a great deal by November. At any rate, for a party supposedly on the verge of a big victory, DemoKKKrats not only don’t sound confident, they are positively concerned about their organizing efforts. Here’s another hardly reassuring comment from BookerT&theMSGs, saying the DemoKKKrats “failed.” And these markers do NOT look good for DemoKKKrats.
29) Energy markets are predicting lower energy costs over the next two years.
30) Wine and beer producers face an “existential” problem in that youts just ain’t gettin’ blitzed anymore.
31) The labor market is all over the place, with tech layoffs over here, but AI hiring over there. Then there is New Kabul (NYC) that has lost jobs for six years, with only “health care” gaining-—to take care of all the illegals. This is a city in collapse.
32) People have been talking bout “infrastructure” for years and done nothing about it, especially in Kollyfornia, where the roads are dirty and crap. But there is a bigger problem laying beneath us, in the sewers that are desperately in need of repair.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
33) Well, well. King Coal is back in Japan. Irena Slav points out that South Korea has extended the life of its Black Burners. How much has $1 trillion in “global warming” investments bought the Euros? They imported %60 of their energy in 2004 and today they import . . . 60%.
34) Another example of how the Iran conflict has exposed Chy-na. What is a “strategic partnership” with the ChiComs worth? If you look at Venezuela and Iran, zip, zero, 没有什么.
35) We came close to this before the patriots beat back the Deep State: a South African comedian has been sued for $27 million by composers of the music for “The Lion King” for making a joke about the lyrics. Gee, if we can do that, the public ought to make a fortune off Bruce Springstinkle, cuz his lyrics (with the exception of “Born to Run” and “Dancing in the Dark”) are all jokes.
37) Cyclone Narelle triggered major damage to Australia’s LNG network, which will cause buyers to redirect orders to . . . Uncle Sam. But in the meantime, hundreds of Aussie gas stations have run out of fuel . . . and the Euros are next. India, meanwhile, has reduced fuel taxes and is going to drill, baby, drill.
38) Venezuela keeps pumping oil, and we are the beneficiaries.
39) A Polish official says that half of U.S. aid to Ukraine was stolen and laundered back to DemoKKKrats in the U.S.
40) Ruh roh. New evidence shows no link between CO2 and temperature over the last 3 million years. Now watch the Climate Hoaxsters run out and embrace the Biblical 6000 history timeline so they can extract more favorable data. The Huns, meanwhile, quietly announced that gee, maybe net-zero shouldn’t be as much of a goal (or a goal at all?).
41) All of these countries started to curb or limit bank withdrawals or business activity in the last couple of weeks. Hmm. Running out of gas?
42) This is not good at all, but unfortunately was inevitable. Japan has developed long-range missiles. The ChiComs continue to be a threat, but it was only a matter of time before the end of globalism brought back the Sons of Nippon.
43) The Popester, who apparently never read the Old Testament, said that God doesn’t hear the prayers of those who wage war. Really? So the whole Joshua/David/Saul things were all just an early version of “The Avengers?”
44) When did the Canucks become so bloodthirsty? Now they have offered euthanasia to a woman suffering from back pain.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
45) FL is going after the NFL and the “Rooney Rule” that says teams must employ quotas to interview certain people of color for coaching vacancies as racist.
46) A beauty queen’s fake teeth fell out during her speech.
47) In what some are calling a “Reverse Laettner,” the U. of Connecticut men’s basketball team beat Duke on a last second desperation shot, 73-72 after being 19 points down, to advance to the Final Four.
48) I belatedly watched “F1.” I am NOT a car/racing movie guy, but this was superb. My son, however, pointed out that it must be in Brad Pitt’s contract that he must eat in every movie.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
49) President Trump’s FDA is eliminating inhuman testing of beagles. You know, Dr. Fallacy’s favorite test subject other than kids.
AND FINALLY . . .
50) Here’s one you don’t hear every day. Some 12 tons of Kit Kat bars were stolen-—over 413,000 bars. First, who the heck can eat that much chocolate? Second, at least it didn’t involve the tragic story from years ago where a poor delivery guy got killed when a rack of Nutty Buddies collapsed on him.
That is sad and informative. Meanwhile Trump rolls along, having attained 19/20 of his Agenda 47 promises in just over one year.
2) As I predicted, the SAFE Act still hasn’t passed. Meanwhile the Senate passed a bill funding ICE-—but not all of the civilian support. This actually was a victory of sorts.

Here’s another hardly reassuring comment from BookerT&theMSGs, saying the DemoKKKrats “failed.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/29/cory-booker-democratic-party
And these markers do NOT look good for DemoKKKrats.
3) Which brings us to Iran. First, the main issue remains the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. If you haven’t noticed, President Trump has NOT sent the U.S. Navy in to escort ships. https://gcaptain.com/the-hormuz-hypothesis-what-if-the-u-s-navy-isnt-in-a-hurry-to-reopen-the-strait/
Why? As Captain John Konrad observes, it may be because, since we get almost no oil from the Strait, Trump is fully willing to keep it closed until the useless Eurotards join in the escort process-—or take it over entirely. Konrad notes that the insurance cancellation notices went out on March 5 and completely shut down transit. Trump then ordered the U.S. International Finance Development Corporation to reinsure the insurers $20 billion. As Konrad wrote, “The United States now controls the on/off switch for the Strait of Hormuz. Not through naval firepower. Through insurance.” He further ordered that no ships be allowed to transit without permission of the U.S. Navy. Konrad points out that Trump 1 tried to restore U.S. shipping with the SHIPS for America act, opened a new maritime office, and established a Maritime Action Plan for defense. He then, if you recall, order construction of the “Golden Fleet” of new “battleships.” He was opposed and stymied much of the way, but now the insurance shoe is on a different foot. Trump did not plan this, but he has a lot of cards to get his way anyway, even with the tariffs (temporarily) off the table. As Jeff Childers wrote on Saturday, if the U.S. is the only Navy escorting ships through the Strait, “who really controls the Strait?”
https://gcaptain.com/the-hormuz-hypothesis-what-if-the-u-s-navy-isnt-in-a-hurry-to-reopen-the-strait/
And Trump confirmed that by saying he’s willing to end hostilities without the opening of the Strait.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-cites-progress-dealing-more-reasonable-regime-while-mulling-ground-operation
Countdown to Euros DEMANDING he reopen the Strait and pledging to help.
4) The problem with leaving before the Strait is open is that more than oil flows through that Strait, including 1/3 of the world’s ammonia (including ours),
https://blackmon.substack.com/p/5-big-energy-stories-3312026-five
Then there are fertilizers, and as of now, Qatar’s LNG plants will be offline for years, regardless-—not that we don’t have LNG out the wazoo, but the Qataris use it to make critical helium. It may be impossible for ANY of the western powers to leave without restoring free transit.
5) As to the so-called “war” itself (there is no war, as the Iranians can’t, or won’t, shoot anything at us but at neighbors and, once in a while, in the general direction of a U.S. base, Trump noted that while negotiations were going extremely well, “you never know” with Iran., “We negotiate with them, and then we always have to blow them up.” On the one hand, the administration has threatened to take Kharg Island, then blew the hell out of the steel plants there, and has moved thousands more troops to the region. Then again, there has not yet been a single “boot on the ground” anywhere, so is this a Trump bluff? My guess is eventually we at least temporarily take over the Island. As this Iranian analyst shows, Trump’s strategy is anything but directionless.
https://substack.com/home/post/p-192222620
It is “coercive negotiation.” Even the New York Slimes admits that Trump’s strategy puts the Euros in a “double bind.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/world/europe/iran-trump-hormuz-europe-dilemma.html
Imagine that.
6) Is there a reason the Euros can’t just “wait Trump out?” No, and his name is AI. The four bigs, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon, are going to spend $630 to $700 billion on new data centers and they need ENERGY.
https://fortune.com/2026/03/26/meta-ai-data-center-hyperion-louisiana/
And in 2030 AI data spend an eye-popping $5.2 trillion on data centers. So, for example, the Huns are already in real, serious energy trouble.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/business/energy-environment/iran-energy-costs-germany-factories.html
As a whole, Europe needs $1.39 trillion just to catch up to 2026.
https://medium.com/@impactnews-wire/ais-power-problem-is-pushing-europe-s-data-centers-off-the-grid-5a3572b3602c
Hard to catch up when, as in Hunland, they are paying close to $10 for a gallon of old Rocky’s finest. They’re dead, Jim.
At any rate, 70% of Europe’s GDP—per capita-gap with the U.S. (we’re leading) is due to our superior tech productivity. And that’s due to AI. And AI is reliant upon energy. Meanwhile, politicians are trying to dampen the effects of higher oil prices in various ways. GA passed a gas tax holiday, lowering prices by $.33 per gallon
https://abcnews.com/US/wireStory/fuel-prices-rise-us-lawmakers-push-suspend-federal-131480739
7) This is definitely not good. A teenager apparently used 3D printing to print a shoulder-fired anti-aircraft “MANPADS” type missile.
https://www.zerohedge.com/military/kid-just-3d-printed-manpad-97
8) And this is definitely not good: one of the Secret Service members on the Senior Skank’s security detail (Dr. Jilly) shot himself in the leg.

10) A Kollyfornia court refused to block a sheriff’s recount of the 2025 ballots in Riverside County (650,000 of them)
https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/03/bonta-chad-bianco-ballots/
and the state AG says he can’t do that because a crime hasn’t been proven. Psst: ugly, evil little toadstool: the way you PROVE a crime is to gather evidence, i.e., ballots. Meanwhile in GA, the senate there passed a revamped bill requiring hand-marked ballots.

11) But of course: a judge temporarily blocked the Pentagon’s “supply chain risk” designation for Anthropic.
https://abcnews.com/Technology/judge-temporarily-blocks-pentagons-supply-chain-risk-designation/story
12) Ahhh, good ol’ Kollyfornia, the Garbage State: now a climate advisor (who of course must know numbers, right?) says the state is “functionally bankrupt” with a $1 trillion shortfall.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/climate-executive-david-friedberg-warns-california-functionally-bankrupt-1t-shortfall-could-shake-nation
Thanks Oleaginous Butyraceous Gruesome. And, right on cue, Kollyfornia canceled the governor’s debate because the leading candidates are . . . white.

13) The DoJ settled a wrongful prosecution case against Mike Flynn for $1.25 million.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/us/politics/michael-flynn-doj-settlement-trump.html
Now, I don’t know if that is after taxes or what, but given that Flynn had lost almost everything fighting the prosecution, I’m guessing he is still far from whole.
14) The former USAF general who was the “gatekeeper” to the UFO “secrets” vanished after Trump ordered full disclosure.

18) Chris Bray, saying Congress is dead, pretty much reiterates what I wrote six years ago when I said “The Suicide of the House is Complete.”
https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/the-end-of-politics
19) What isn’t happening is the decline of a MAGA/conservative movement. The New York Slimes, slithering into CPAC

3.31.26: TYRANNY, like HELL, is not easily CONQUERED, Think SIZE + Scope of MSM attacks, THUNE
Sorry that I didn’t answer you earlier regarding residential electric rates and the huge energy demand of AI.
First, I’ll point out that Obama’s war on coal has done a lot to drive up electric costs already. The shift to intermittent resources like wind and solar have been problematic for the industry - yes, when the sun’s out, there’s power. And when the wind is strong (but not too strong), there’s power. But those things don’t always happen and sometimes, they conspire to NOT happen when you need them most.
So utilities have to build wind and solar at higher levels than would be reasonable to satisfy politicians, and simultaneously build or maintain natural gas or coal plants that can fill in when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining. TVA had some ridiculous plan a few years ago to build about 10,000 megawatts, roughly 1/3 of their peak load, in solar panels. Imagine how much farm land that would take up. Imagine how much backup generation you’d need to supply demand when the sun wasn’t shining. But green is god.
That desire changed drastically in December of 2022 (or 2023, can’t remember) when TVA, for the first time ever, had to resort to rolling blackouts to meet demand because there was insufficient generation available to supply customer load, and there was none available on the open market at any price. That rattled a few cages and put some intelligent people back in charge of planning for generation capacity.
Anyway, that doesn’t answer your question. I think a lot of it is hype - people don’t want data centers. They do use a LOT of power, but they use it day and night, whereas most of us don’t use much at night, and use a ton during the heat of the day in the summer (or in the early cold mornings in the winter). So, to the utility, this is “good load” - it stays on. so you don’t have to back down generation off-peak and you don’t have to take units off line, which stresses them a great deal due to the heating/cooling of parts (expansion/contraction).
Entities that buy directly from the transmission grid and avoid the distribution system get a break because they’re not using the distribution system. Entities that buy big amounts of power at night get a break because the demand at night, or off peak, is much lower so the generation that remains at full output is generally the most economic generating units. So it’s logical that such companies get a better rate. And people really didn’t complain when a big local steel mill that employed 2000 people got a rate about half of what they were paying at home.
But a data center - it won’t have 2000 hard-working people on staff 24/7. There will be people, but not all that many. So people rightfully see a problem with such an entity getting any kind of break, especially if they see it as though they themselves are subsidizing the data center’s power bill.
Also, in some states like Ohio, they opened up the market a few years ago so you, any customer can buy power from different generating entities. Which sounds really good, but while the state regulators were doing that, the feds were trying to shut down coal and oil at every turn. So what would be a robust competitive market was not. Demand exceeded supply, or at least matches up with it. Too many customers, not enough sellers = price increase. The open market would work a lot better if there were more providers out there.
The south seems to stick with the old tried-and-true method - the same entity that sells the power generates most of it. But the northeast went with the market concept.
Now, a big entity that uses 800 megawatts of power 24/7 might get to stand in the front of the line to buy that power because they offer the utility, the generating entity, something of value. Steady demand. Put the unit on line, run up the throttle, and push out near full capacity 24/7 until it’s maintenance time. Plants love that. Nuclear demands that.
Sorry if I’ve gotten a little long-winded. I’m a talker sometimes. :)
The problem with the UK doing anything about the Strait of Hormuz is they don’t have enough ships left in their navy to do anything, even against a navy that has already been wiped out. Britannia rules the waves, but only in His Majesty’s bathtub.

Remember a few years back when Havahd found itself being heavy on oriental students? So they cut back. Maybe now they have room for Jews where the Asians are missing? Life is hard when the whole management crowd is over-educated, arrogant dumbasses. Remember when SecWar Pete sent his diploma back? They might have to cut their price to get a few Jews back?
re: Vocal fry
Sorry, didn’t mean to sidetrack with the vocal fry subject. Actually, the gal’s vocal fry in the “Words Unravelled” videos isn’t too bad. But as Bigg Red said, her whole demeanor and potty mouth is more annoying.
Here’s a video analyzing vocal fry.
Vocal Fry: what it is, who does it, and why people hate it!

It’s 27 minutes long. If you don’t have the time or inclination, here are a few highlights.
Kardashians at the 0:34 mark
Loudermilk scene at 6:43
Actor George Sanders as Shere Khan at 12:37
George Sanders in “Rebecca” inserted in the Loudermilk scene at 14:42
People speaking Finnish at 16:24
I’ve never watched the Kardashians or even listened to one of them speak more than a word or two. But it sounds like they fry nearly every word they speak from these clips. Since the Kardashians are so popular, that might be why so many young girls picked up the use of vocal fry—just a thought.
He also did a followup video to the vocal fry one. It’s 25 minutes long. I haven’t finished listening to it yet.
